“In an ever changing and challenging landscape Lucia's support, guidance and encouragement to fully listen and engage with not only your colleagues and your co-workers but more critically with yourself, is a priceless tool in a time where very few are really listening. When you are ready to fully embrace your potential, and you need to be ready to show up for the things she is going to share with you, I could not recommend a stronger partner in conquering your fears and limitations. Get ready for the incredible world and opportunities Lucia is going to share, I'm excited for you...for us.”

Vanessa Livingston - Partner RBEL Agency


“I have been a commercial producer and agent for almost 20 years and working with Lucia has opened up a world of possibilities that enliven my current career while also allowing me to venture into new realms. The process of working with Lucia has given me a path and plan to push forward with my desire to be of service. Lucia’s vision and calm guidance are invaluable as she is a Latin woman, a strong executive, and a person that leads by example. Her vast knowledge regarding storytelling and the human experience is evidenced by her daily willingness to disrupt the norm and push herself and others to be creatively fulfilled and congruent with their true selves. As a woman of the world, Lucia is uniquely qualified to listen to and understand people’s deepest aspirations and help them unlock them. She has with me.”

“Lucia Cottone is simply amazing! There isn't a word that can capture how grateful I am to have had this life changing experience with her. Lucia is like a key, unlocking the areas of ourselves we weren't fully aware were there. That spark of genius that's in all of us, that needs to be uncovered... Lucia gave me the tools to bring out that spark and put it on full display, and keep the spark burning bright. I felt heard, understood, safe, supported, and encouraged 100% through it all, and this experience is something I will keep with me and continue to build on for the rest of my life.”

Frank Abney - Director /Animation Artist


“Working with Lucia is a perfect storm of amazingness. Her ability to tap into my internal hang-ups was the result of keen instinct and active listening. Her practical suggestions for coping with these self-made obstacles — significant barriers to my personal growth — were immediately effective and had a major positive impact on me during a particularly difficult time of my life. Finally, Lucia’s insightful ideas for maximizing my creative instincts and showing me how activating these instincts could be used to improve the foundations of my professional and personal life have proven invaluable. And all of this is communicated by her with love, enthusiasm, and authenticity.”

— ANDREW PLOTKIN - SVP Sony Entertainment


“Lucia’s coaching style is very practical - full of life-altering tools and processes that are so profoundly "right". During my engagement with her, I felt seen, understood, and supported. She encouraged me every step of the way to further integrate my innate leadership skills. Interestingly enough they are the values that I pride myself in possessing which I needed to bring more awareness to. The work I did also had a direct impact in my relationship with my creativity”

—WENDY ROGERS, Animation Director / Award-Winning VFX Supervisor


“This coaching experience with Lucia was a lifeline for me. At a time when I started a new, big job I was taking a big leap, which leaves a lot of us, including me, open to self-sabotage. Working with Lucia weekly gave me an anchor, a place to freely and openly express my struggles, and she offered something magical - a deep insight into myself that allowed her to see ME (not some idea of what I should be as a leader) and as such we were able to make breakthroughs together that often brought me to tears, sometimes energized me, but always made me feel like I was accessing deeper truths about myself in a holistic way, and my leadership style, skills, and language are a part of that larger whole. I practiced embracing all aspects of myself within the context of executive leadership. Lucia has found a sweet spot for coaching clients that's uniquely her own style, language, and approach and I can't thank her enough for all she's done for me and for walking with me along this brand new, yet-to-be trodden executive journey I embarked upon.”

“Ana Lucia Cottone has had such a terrific impact on me. Her consulting and insight in my life has been irreplaceable in a very important season. Working with her I was able to spot my limiting thoughts that were keeping me stagnant. In just a few months of sessions with her, I up-leveled in my personal life, my family life and my work life.”

— HANK FORTENER - GM of Artist Management and Founder Adopt Together & World Adoption Day

“Lucia is brilliant at the work she does. She has the ability to see all the facets of a person and help them investigate their motives and their actions and achieve the goals they have set for themselves. I had the pleasure of getting to know Lucia as Netflix Animation was growing rapidly and the work she did across a number of different engagements showcased her ability to meet people where they are and help them get themselves to where they need to be. She is an amazing and holistic coach and even though the nature of our discussions were sponsor/coach, I never left a discussion with her without learning how to achieve something that I was struggling with. Icing on the cake.”

Aaron Mitchell - Director HR - Netflix Animation Studio


“In a practical, creative, and supportive way, Lucia has led me through a process that has allowed me to see patterns and beliefs that were holding me back and stagnating my creativity. With her guidance, I’ve been able to develop new plans of action, implement new strategies, and think bigger than I’ve previously allowed myself to do. In collaboration, we have developed a new approach to making decisions that have directly led to exponential growth on both a professional and personal level.”

— ANDY COHEN - President Grade A Entertainment


Lucia walked us through how to strategically grow Taylor’s Gift Foundation while staying true to our mission and message. She guided us through the media and promotion of the Foundation and also of our best-selling book, Taylor’s Gift. Her advice and experience was something we leaned on as we grew Taylor’s Gift to a national level. Lucia has been such a blessing to us, not only personally, but for Taylor’s Gift as well.

—TARA AND TODD STORCH -Co-Founders Taylors Gift


“Lucia has a gift at helping her clients reveal the genius residing within. Through her consultancy process she supported me in seeing more clearly how to approach and launch my new business. She has given me tools to build my brand and organically grow into it with exponential results! Lucia was instrumental in me seeing the power of building a conscious business.”

— WESTON WOODWARD - Founder Woodward Media / Entrepreneur


“My sessions with Lucia could not have come at a more opportune time in my life and career. The work we did allowed me to transition into a new senior-level professional position with confidence and peace of mind. I must admit, I resisted this work initially. But her attention, persistence, and care kept me going. She is truly gifted. Due to her endless encouragement, my language toward myself has shifted from extremely negative to positive and empowering. I no longer fear chaos; I now have the tools to navigate the inevitable hurricanes of life. During our work, the surprise element of retreats outside zoom allowed me to more fully integrate the concepts we concentrated on. My quality of life is ten times better due to this work and I will be eternally grateful to Lucia for her guidance”

— HEATHER CURTIS - Television Studio and Network Development Executive


I came to Lucia at a time where I was experiencing some major life changes: a change in a primary personal relationship, changes in my businesses, feelings of anxiety and uncertainty. I found the engagement with Lucia, the readings, the exercises, and the discourse all to be highly tuned to what I was needing at the moment, and so perfectly designed to help me gain a better emotional footing, while also developing clarity around my work and life purpose. As a result, I feel much better equipped to take on big goals while enjoying life and living my values.

- John Williams - Entrepreneur


“I had specific goals I wanted to achieve while working with Lucia. She provided the support I needed to become the leader that I was striving for. Through our process, I also learned to deal with triggers that were not serving me. I was able to recognize those and approach future scenarios differently. Working with the power of creating emotional and psychological safety for myself and for the teams I lead, was a highlight of the work I did with Lucia. Unearthing my life purpose and the practice of visioning were inspiring, to say the least, tools I will be using going forward. My only regret is not having Lucia's detailed approach and process earlier in my career.”

“Lucia has helped me transform the way I approach my work in monumental ways. Her ability to reach down inside and pull out of the true self within is remarkable. In a matter of three months, I went from barely scraping by to commanding thousands of dollars a month doing the work that I was put on this Earth to do. I would never have believed what was possible before we began working together and now I am overflowed with possibilities and engaging in amazing opportunities. ”

— KATE RAMOS - Founder HOLA Jalapeño


“I have been able to deeply integrate how crucial it is to have a clear life purpose and vision through working with Lucia. I have hired Lucia several times and I have come to understand my creative skill set more and more and that focus has brought so much joy to my life. Her sweet enthusiastic straightforward approach coupled with her business development knowledge has provided tools for me that allowed me to be very present in the amazing journey I am living every day.

—AZUCENA CIERCO - Anchor Telemundo


“After 22 years in the corporate world, I was ready to pursue my life’s passion. I was extremely fortunate to find Lucia to support me through that transition. She has been instrumental in my ability to up-level my personal outlook and professional game. ”

—MICHELLE GONCALVES -Culinary Consultant


“You know when you are given words of wisdom and you think you understand them, but then every time you come back to the words they have a new deeper meaning? If you don’t know what I am talking about, then you probably don’t yet know Lucia. This woman is one of the greatest gift the Universe brought to me. ”

—Bently Coplin - Community Impact and Culture Consultant


“Participating in a Mastermind Group lead by Lucia is my first true experience engaging in calls to deliberately up my game and in the process learn more about myself. My involvement in this dynamic has allowed me to get in touch with my inner creative strengths, see aspects of myself that I had been under-utilizing and awaken to something much greater than I ever thought possible for myself. All in a space where I have also experienced the other participants’ exponential growth. Lucia’s support has been instrumental in me having what I consider an optimal experience”

— KYLE BARRIOS -Manager Market Development DELOITTE USA


 “Lucia takes perceived complex issues and remixes them to address the “lifeline” of the matter ... that’s just one of her many gifts. When I launched a national networking group, iConexion, Lucia guided our vision developed to explore holistic approaches. The results - four years of steady membership growth and increased revenue

— RICHARD-ABRAHAM RUGNAO – Founder iCONEXION / Brand Specialist


“Lucia’s engagement is one rooted in professionalism, organic human connection, and incalculable support as she walked me through building, calibrating, and synthesizing my intentions and purpose. Her work ethic strength and commitment are ones that I aspire to emulate in my coaching business. Her strengths bring out my own, her enthusiasm coaxes forth new life, and her loving compassion expands the way that I experience myself and others. This organically dynamic and integral process is and has been truly life-changing!”

—LYNN TEAGUE - Coach

“Prior to working with Lucia, I had a very vague idea of what would be next for me, career-wise. I had thoughts that weren’t fully developed and needed refinement. I wasn’t exactly sure what I could gain from hiring her as my Creativity & Leadership Coach, but the ‘stuck’ feeling I was experiencing pushed me to seek her out.

Our sessions began with laying the foundation for my life’s purpose and my life’s vision. I immediately experienced a wave of blocks that I had, subconsciously, been allowing to take the wheel for years. Lucia’s coaching style was paramount to guiding me through the process of identifying these blocks and working through them. The empathy and high standard she set for my success encouraged me to continue to tackle these blockages head-on. Through my conversations with her, I learned to reframe certain issues so that they support me and allow me to carry out my vision.

One of my major takeaways from working with Lucia has been creating a direct relationship with taking action steps to fulfill my possibilities and removing the barriers that I was engaging in. The supportive environment created, paired with structure and the accountability efforts helped me realize my potential, explore my purpose, and create my vision. These elements of her approach to coaching made me feel ownership and in-control of my future. Not only did she encourage me during the design phase of the life plans, but also the execution of the steps being taken in the direction I viewed as my success. I also deeply appreciate her true coaching style. I walked away from every session feeling accomplished because I knew I was coming into my important “a-ha” moments with her guidance, rather than having someone simply outline everything for me.

As a result, I feel that my language of creativity has evolved, I’ve become better aligned with my purpose and vision for my future and my goals for the future have become exponentially clearer. The emotional investment and peace of mind have all been worth it. I am very grateful to Lucia for leading me through this process which has now allowed me to get to the core of what I wanted my new social venture to become.”

— ERIC IBARRA - Social Entrepreneur / Founder Las Fotos Project and The Euclid Company


“As a producer, I’ve found working with Lucia to be an exceptional experience. The combination of her personal insight, along with her extensive business experience, has led me to understand my work and my process in amazing new ways. ”

“Lucia’s is a delight to work with! Her boundless enthusiasm, abundant creativity and razor sharp business acumen provided me with a new, and much needed perspective on my work and life. With the clarity I now posses I am certain to manifest my vision successfully

—WENDY SHERIDAN - AkashickMandala.com


“Working with Lucia has proven to me that I will never regret investing in myself. She helped me take practical steps to expand my brand into what I never knew was possible. I felt an immediate up-leveling after our very first call. By working on the mental and physical plane I was able to grow into what I was only dreaming of before. ”
